Born in 1953 and aged 71, Mariette Darjo crossed paths with Francis Cabrel in 1970. An obvious meeting for the duo during the village ball, who have not left each other since. Their marriage was celebrated in 1974 and, to pay tribute to his wife, the artist dedicated the title to her Little Mary. Together, the couple had two children: Aurélie, born in 1986 and Manon, born in 1991. They adopted Thiu, a little girl born in Vietnam, in 2004. Their eldest daughter has two children, Mona and Raphaël.
With Mariette Cabrel, they form a very solid couple where everyone has their place. So that the musician can devote himself to his career and dedicate his soul to music, Mariette Cabrel takes care of domestic chores and family life as much as possible. At the same time, she is an interior designer and owns a boutique located not far from the family estate. She also runs a real estate company and the music label Chandelle Production.
Devoted to his family, Francis Cabrel dedicated several of his titles to his own, such as Blowgun for Aurélie, I loved you, I love you and I will love you to Manon and Miss Adventure in Thiu. True declarations of love, which are each time a success with the singer's fans.
Francis Cabrel is 71 years old: was he mayor of the town of Astaffort?
It's in a big house, located in the middle of the vineyardswhich Francis Cabrel lives with his wife Mariette, far from the tumult of big cities. In the small village of Astaffort, his face and his name are known to everyone. And for good reason! Mariette's lover worked for this town of 2,000 inhabitants, as recalled Paul Bonnet, the mayor of the municipality, with Purepeople. “I am ten years younger than him, but we grew up together. We were both municipal councilors in the 90s. Francis Cabrel, in Astaffort, is a citizen like any other”, recalled the mayor. A man definitely like the others, who lives in the company of his wife Mariette, with whom he has a bond that resists all tests.
